(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Isafjordur
Surrounded by towering mountains and tucked into a scenic fjord, Ísafjörður is the cultural and historic heart of the Westfjords. This charming fishing town dates back centuries and features some of Iceland’s oldest timber houses, remnants of its days as a Danish trading post. A short stroll reveals cozy cafés, local boutiques, and the harbor area, where you might visit the Westfjords Heritage Museum to learn about life in this remote region. With its blend of history, culture, and stunning natural beauty, Ísafjörður offers a perfect introduction to the wild and welcoming Westfjords.
Bolungarvik
Just a short drive from Ísafjörður through a scenic mountain tunnel lies Bolungarvík, one of Iceland’s northernmost fishing villages. Here, we visit the Ósvör Maritime Museum, a full-scale replica of a 19th-century fishing outpost. With turf-roofed huts, drying racks, and traditional rowboats, this open-air museum offers a vivid glimpse into the harsh but resilient life of early Icelandic fishermen. The ocean views and coastal cliffs add a dramatic backdrop to this step back in time.
Bolafjall
Rising 638 meters above sea level, Bolafjall Mountain offers one of the most breathtaking views in the Westfjords. Weather permitting, we’ll drive up the steep, paved road to the summit, where a dramatic skywalk platform extends over the cliff edge. From here, take in panoramic views of the North Atlantic, nearby fjords, and even the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve on clear days. It’s a high point of the tour—literally and visually.
